My spouse just bought one of these as a standing desk.. Works great. $230 here though.

Thanks Steve. None shown at my local store, closest one, double the mileage away. Since they are not carried locally, no chance of finding a good deal on one like Ryan did. Since I rarely shop at HD, I won't be making a 45 minute trip just to size one up and take a good look at it.

Eric, I find it interesting how varied the availability of different items is across the country from the same chain of stores - that table is available at my local HD, I looked at it awhile back. Looked cool, but my shop area is already too crowded til I make some changes - which is why I was so stoked about my CL find (post#10, this thread) Even tho that "tuit" is still eluding me...

I don't shop HD much either, ever since they decided that I was only a veteran a couple days a year. When they did that, I walked into the (recently added) Lowes with my DD214 - 10 minutes later I was set up, 10% off across the board. Being a smaller town, the Lowes doesn't always have everything I want but they're always the first place I check.

Had enough of Hanoi Jane and friends when I got out in late '69, I won't be treated like that ever again... Steve

I just found a local office supply place selling used inventory and bought 2 Teknion sit/stand work tables for $200 each (they were $1200 each new). Electric and programmable, super nice. Going to make some modifications to suit my space, they should work great.

I've been dragging my feet on building an outfeed table, found something for cheap that might work at Home Depot, and I'm kind of in love with it? Yeah, I think I like this thing.

Its biggest advantage (height adjustable) is also its biggest weaknes...

.

Great idea! I think I’ll snag one of these as well if I can find one. Especially at the price of wood now a days. It doesn’t even pay to build one yourself.

I put the Jet air filter unit under the out feed table. I often use the table for sanding so it plays well for that and the saw. I have dust collector on the saw.

Does it tend to clog faster from being installed low? I would imagine it would since some dust settles on the ground before reaching the units when installed higher up. Love the use of space though and thee fact that the dust from sanding gets sucked up straight away!

2 years ago I started moving the Sewing Machine store I inherited. (DIY inheritance at it's best) When we went to HD to grab some lumber to build the work benches and a front counter for the new shop I spotted these, and gave them a try in 3 sizes. They were in stock at the time, and cost was about the same as my materials were going to be so it was a no brainer. So far they have held up great other than some surface scratches. In fact we just picked up 3 more for displays in the sales area, and I still have my eye on two more. One for the same reason in the wood shop, and one to turn into a shipping station.

Has anyone ever cut into the top? Is it really solid or is there a surprise inside? Odd question but I have other ideas that require modifications.

What I would really like to figure out is a simple dust collector to mount on the bottom crossbar... Hell, one of these ****** HF jobs might be better than nothing (which is what I have presently)...

If you have room and don't mind a few flex hoses, the 2HP HF dust collector unit usually sells under $200. I just picked up a very slightly used one for $100 on CL. Can't believe how good it works. Filled it up twice last week, and the shop barely needed a sweep.

I don't have a CNC router like ryan but the trusty railcore can put out some decent prints so here is my out feed table drawers

Blocks are bolted with flat head M3 bolts from the back of the masonite, countersunk so they are flush with the bottom. The 6" and 8" rack for the 4 tooth chippers indexes them so the teeth cant touch, using a spacer every 2nd blade, all 6 chippers fit in the drawer. 5 for the adjust a dado 6" set.

10" blade are two per place, can see one of the separating spacers on the right blade. Still working on blocks for the throat plates, push stick and layout tools. Unfortunately my feather boards are to thick for the drawer.

That looks amazing man.
